Feedback on floor plan (single level corner house)
Comments (40)Do you have to use the smaller front boundary for the garage? Is the noisy living space going to work with all bedrooms coming off this space? If the garage went to the south and can it be on the boundary in Sydney, that would leave the middle for bedrooms and the northern aspect for living, as most Australian houses benefit from northern light. The front setbacks would make an ideal outdoor space which high fences or high shrubs if not allowed high fences, if on a busy road most councils allow you to have sound barriers, leaving the entry to the house to come in off the long boundary, which you can make more of a feature. You have a corner block which is always a bonus. The beds will then have a quite zone, the living can have that northern end and cars can be pushed to boundary. Always look at the site before you look at plans. Always make sure the living aspect overrides the plans. Always make sure that living in a space overrides the plans, always....See MoreFloor plan feedback please
Comments (54)I was also going to suggest that you drive around your area looking at any new builds, who's building them and what Architect/Design firm has been involved. You could introduce yourself to any builders that you felt you might be interested in working with, call the Architect etc to discuss. If you can find locals to do the Job that's a plus, if there are any problems they are on the spot to sort. One of our Houzzers had a very bad experience where the Structural Engineer changed something without consulting anyone which ended up causing a major problem and expensive to boot. As annb has rightly pointed out you don't need to employ the Architect for the complete job as this will be more expensive, if your builder is good at his job he will manage everything with your input. Architects plans can be more detailed/complicated and sometimes there may be the need for the builder to check back with him/her. Big plus is that you are building where you live and are able to keep tabs on how things are going, very exciting time for you and your family...See MoreEnsuite Floor plan feedback please
Comments (20)To close out this conversation... we decided in the end to have a separate powder room and this is where the layout is sitting currently. No feedback needed, just thought it would be good to close the look. Thanks for all the help....See MoreFeedback on floor plan and opportunities
Comments (9)The house and alfresco looks really nice -- you have done really well buying that IMO ! I'd leave it as it is , at least in the 1-2 year time span . Is the shed with a roller door a garage ? The main reason I ask is just a thought in that it looks like you get to the alfresco through the laundry by the looks of it -- without knowing more , I wonder about moving the laundry at some stgae to the 'garage' , maybe a bigger door , maybe make the existing laundry into the dining area or a study or office ( I would have suggested even moving the kitchen there , but it looks really good where it is -- or maybe I should say too new to justify moving ) . Hope that makes sense ....See MoreFi
